Task bar icons

[lozanoa11]

i did not use resource hacker. I just used irfanviewer

Sorry for bringing back an old thread, but this is exactly what i'm trying to do and it doesn't seem to work anymore?

I'm trying to get them to work with RocketDock. It won't work from the app shortcut or adding them on the dock.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

use irfanview to convert your icons to icon files.

 

[Spoonus Maximus]

They are ico file types, yes. Does it have to be irfanview in particular?

 

[lozanoa11]

if they are ico files it should work how are you trying to change them?

 

[Spoonus Maximus]

What i've been doing is making a shortcut to the program on desktop, changing the icon and just dragging it onto Rocketdock, just when I open it up it's the default icon

 

[lozanoa11]

oh you just want to change the icon on rocketdock i see. you should just right click the icon and change the properties on it. i use object dock so i cant help on the specifics.

 

[Spoonus Maximus]

Nah i'm after the same thing you were originally, making the icon change on the task bar, sorry about that.

 

[lozanoa11]

dont pin it to the task bar. open it right click it, proporties change the icon close the program open it again and is should be good. then you can pin it if you want.

I've got nothing pinned. Doesn't make much sense. I just tried Object Dock as well and it does the same thing.

 

[lozanoa11]

ok im f-ing confused are you trying to change the icons on your dock or your taskbar?

 

[Spoonus Maximus]

I'm trying to do exactly what you wanted to do with your original post

It just isn't working

 

[lozanoa11]

what has nothing to do with a dock that is why im wondering what your talking about with rocket dock. explain what exactly you are doing step by step

 

[Spoonus Maximus]

I've got it sorted, thanks for your help

Lol spoon. I got what you meant.

Lonazoa btw, there is no difference from desktop and docks. His problem was he could change the icon on the dock/desktop, but when he opens the program, it looks like the old icon on the taskbar.

So. How do I do this the same? Lonazoa what program did you use to change the icon within the programs you wanted?

Or spoon? I've got the icons I want saved as icons. Which program works best in windows 7 and with minimal resources. I dont need anything extravagent. Just this.

Without pinning it to the taskbar, how could I change the programs icons? I can do it with rocketdock or on my desktop, but when I open the program, on my taskbar it is the old icon. How can I change that one?

Basically since that last post was long. Im looking for the most lightweight program to change icons I already have and put them into the programs I want. So they are my custom icons on the taskbar and desktop etc. Not just desktop

 

[lozanoa11]

Use irfanview to change them into .ico files and the open the program. right click on it on the taskbar and click properties change the icon to what ever you want. exit it and re open it it should be changed.
